The　exceptional　mechanical　characteristics,　corrosion　resistance,　and　high　strength-to-weight　ratios　of　fiber-reinforced　polymer　(FRP)　materials　have　led　to　their　extensive　usage　in　civil　engineering.　And　the　bond　performance　at　the　FRP–concrete　interface　is　the　most　crucial　factor　affecting　the　effectiveness　of　reinforcement　with　FRP.　This　paper　provides　a　comprehensive　review　of　the　application　of　the　cohesive　zone　model　(CZM)　in　analyzing　bond　behaviors　in　FRP–concrete　interfaces.　It　explores　the　historical　development,　key　modeling　techniques,　and　effectiveness　of　the　CZM　in　predicting　interface　behavior　under　various　loading　conditions.　Different　finite-element　methods　are　compared　to　verify　the　advantages　of　the　CZM,　including　its　ability　to　account　for　the　nonlinear　behavior　of　materials　and　to　accurately　simulate　crack　propagation,　interface　separation,　and　energy　dissipation　in　different　structural　forms.　The　effects　of　parameters　such　as　fracture-energy　ratios,　FRP　plate　thickness,　bond　length,　friction　coefficients,　peel　angles,　normal　stresses,　elastic　moduli,　and　slip　rates　on　the　stripping　behavior　are　analyzed,　and　the　necessity　of　considering　coupled　damage　effects　under　mixed-mode　conditions　is　emphasized.　Additionally,　this　paper　discusses　the　challenges　and　development　directions　associated　with　the　CZM,　such　as　parameter　determination,　convergence　difficulties,　and　limited　application　in　cyclic-　and　fatigue-loading　scenarios.　Thus,　this　paper　emphasizes　the　benefits　of　CZM　in　forecasting　important　phenomena,　including　fracture　propagation,　interface　separation,　and　energy　dissipation,　while　analyzing　its　drawbacks　that　require　attention　in　future　studies.　©　2025　Institution　of　Structural　Engineers
